CATS planning to expand transit routes

Major changes will be taking place in the next couple of
months at the Capital Area Transit System, or CATS.

CEO Bob Mirabito announced that CATS is planning to add ten
new routes and improve some existing ones. Four new transfer centers will make
rides shorter, and they will be adding 12 new busses. More jobs are expected to
be available, too. They are looking to hire 140 bus drivers.

"We will have a park-and-ride at O'neal that will shoot
Downtown," said Mirabito. "We will have an airport express service to Downtown.
There will be an expansion of service in the Baker area," he added.

Mirabito says it is all part of its efforts to be more
customer-friendly and to improve meeting the needs of its riders.

The new routes will take effect at the end of March. The
company has hired an outside company to oversee the expansion as well as handle
community outreach.
